The posts I see here are less and less the people I want to hear from and more and more people I don't know or don't care about. Not deleting my account in case things improve but not going to be here for a while.

There's probably a limited number of "core" types but the devil is in the details and how you mix things together

[Christopher Tang @ChrisTangWriter]

@Technoir The River from Weapons of the Gods
Matching Dice from various including WoftG
Matching numbers (often in percentile systems so 11, 22, etc.)

@SKenson Lately I'm loving Forged in the Dark because of the chance for long term injury/trauma. I've had serious physical trauma and sometimes the more lasting effect is mental.

Board Game Store: Our Thanksgiving special is solo board games. On sale now.
Me:...do you know something about a covid surge that I don't?

[Christopher Tang @ChrisTangWriter]

Me: How do I get there from my home GPS?
GPS: *directions*
Me: That makes no sense. Where do you think I am?
GPS: The pizzeria
ME:...are you calling me fat?

@dch4 Once again the format of social media makes it really hard to have an honest conversation. (sigh)

[Christopher Tang @ChrisTangWriter]

@dch4 That's fair. It is a dodge. I do think some people might might need a firearm for self-defense but I feel your phrasing of it made it seem like a universal need. I was trying to make a point that it did not seem as universal and phrased it very poorly.

I don't know why so many writers have cats. Pouring your heart into something is really hard with someone who insists your keyboard is their bed. #Writing

@Superdillin I doodle in the margins of my character sheet

@jesthehuman My son loved Hero Kids and ran games at 4. For adults who love narrative and English degrees Apocalypse Engine is great. If you're more board gamey I've had great luck with Index Card RPG.

Parties are flawed. Candidates are human. No one is perfect. Voting for the lesser of two evils is harm reduction. Consider running for office or finding someone local you believe in and volunteer for them b/c local politics matter.

@mike_boaz It's pretty wild now that we're a swing state.

The next #Superman movie should cast @algore as Jor-el warning of Krypton's demise from climate change.

Welp, I guess I'm doing #NaNoWriMo22

[Christopher Tang @ChrisTangWriter]

Transubstantiation: Christ is not on a cracker. He is the cracker.

[Christopher Tang @ChrisTangWriter]

I'm thinking of doing NaNoWriMo for the first time but all the ideas I have are going to be too long. Pitch me your dumb but awesome ideas for a story.
